What’s the fastest way to reload a pistol?http://www.guns.com/2016/09/28/whats-the-fastest-way-to-reload-a-pistol-video/ This video does a grave disservice to its intended audience, because the underlying assumption is that the slide will be locked back when the pistol is empty. This is a false assumption, especially in combat situations when people and things are bumping into you and persons are attempting to foul your actions.

Hi Tom, Thank you very much. It's not a matter of shooting your penis (becausethat is not life threatening). It's a matterof shooting your femoral artery in your support side leg(because this is life threatening in a matter of seconds). It's not a matter of shooting your firing side leg.It's a matter of shooting your support side thigh.(Pincus is creating and defeating a straw-man argument.)Because as normally used by most people, the pistolis pointed at the femoral artery of the support sidethigh. Not pointed straight down, as in the videowith Rob Pincus. People carry in the pelvic crease, which pointsthe muzzle at the femoral artery of the supportside thigh. It violates our safety rule, "Never cover anything you are not willing to destroy." The way Pincus has his pistol holstered, thepistol is pointed down into his firing side thigh.I can't believe he can sit comfortably with thiscarry position. Try it, you'll see what I mean. A pot belly makes the pistol inaccessiblein appendix carry. No matter what Bob Leathamsays.
Cheers,Jon

John Farnam says, "Ambidextrous magazine-release buttons are considered by the naive to be modern and trendy, but for one, I don’t want my magazine flying out of the pistol when I fall on my strong side!"http://defense-training.com/2016/fns/ I think Mr. Farnam is wrong. Just because you are right handed in practice, does not mean you will be right handed in combat. Arms, shoulders, hands, fingers, etc. are commonly injured in high stress situations. Falls, pinching, friendly fire, enemy fire, etc. can force you to use your support side hand. I believe your self defense pistol should be ambidextrous. Your spouse or buddy who picks up your pistol might be left handed. One has to be optimistic in combat. (Hey, they could have just run away and left you.) You might be sleeping on your support side when the truck bomb goes off. Leaving your firing side injured with shrapnel and stuff.

I have never taken money from anybody.
So, I can write honest reviews.--- When Smith & Wesson sided with former President Clinton against America's gun owners, I promised to never buy another S&W gun. Nothing good every comes of breaking a promise to one's self. I bought a new S&W M&P 15 in caliber .22 long rifle,serial number HCE6249. The adjustable stock was jammed in place. The lever that unlocks the adjustable stock for movement did not work, because the knurled knob was screwed too far out. I could not screw it down because there was a pin holding it in place and preventing it from moving. So, I attempted to contact S&W on their web site. After filling out the online form, you have to type in some characters from an image. The web site repeatedly told me, "The characters you entered did not match those in the image. Please try again." After several tries, the web site stopped giving me captcha images. So, I could not send the message. I suspect S&W does this intentionally because they are overwhelmed with complaints. I then sent them an email. I have not received a reply. I then phoned. The customer service representative said, "We make the rifles that way. There is nothing wrong with the rifle.The fixed stock is required by Massachusetts law." I said, this rifle was shipped to Tennessee for purchase in Tennessee. To which the S&W rep.responded, "You got what you ordered. Take it up with your retailer." They did not ask me to ship it back for replacement. They did not allow me to ship it back, at my expense, for replacement. Truly world class customer service. I had to have a gunsmith fix the rifle.--- I bought a new Weatherby PA-459 tactical 12 gauge pump action shotgun, serial number AK33899. The action repeatedly jammed when attempting to rack the slide. The mechanism for holding the shells in the tubular magazine is unreliable, causing double feeds and jamming in the receiver when two shells are in the receiver, instead of one. This also causes stoppages when attempting to load the tubular magazine. After loading one round, the loaded round will pop out of the tubular magazine into the receiver preventing you from loading the next round into the magazine. After having a gunsmith take it apart and inspect it, it is clear that the design and workmanship are poor. The shotgun is made in Turkey. I had to have a gunsmith fix it.

***** Instructors *****

Instructors, you must demonstrate every technique for your students. No, it is not obvious. No, the student will not figure it out. The student has to have a model to copy. This includes rhythm, the timing between the things you do. This includes pace, the speed at which you do things. (Two shots at 3 yards will be much faster than two shots at 25 yards. The student has to know how fast to shoot. How fast he is expected to shoot. How fast it is reasonable to shoot at that distance.) You must let the student see the demonstration from both sides of your body. You must demonstrate it left handed if you have left handers in your class.(If you're not comfortable performing left handed, practice. That's your duty.)

The Crossroads Mall was, and is still, posted as a Gun Free Zone.This ensured that the victims were unarmed. Hence, 8 stabbed before a person who violated the posting shot the "soldier of the Islamic State". Hanging out in gun free zones is an act of stupidity, because such zones attract criminals.
A hero who had the courage to violate the posting is the only
reason another 100 persons were not stabbed.
